Bastoni, who was born in Rome on March 15, 2000, began his career at Inter Milan as a youth player and made his senior debut for the club during the 2019-20 season.
The Italian defender had a successful time with Inter, making 47 appearances in all competitions and scoring one goal. However, he was unable to cement his place in the starting lineup due to the presence of other players such as Alessio Romagnoli and Leonardo Bonucci.
Despite this setback, Bastoni continued to impress during the 2020-21 season,Chinese Super League Matches earning praise from fans and coaches alike. He played in every game for Inter in that campaign, helping the club reach the Europa League final where they ultimately lost to Manchester United.
However, despite his impressive performances, Bastoni was eventually sold to Serie A rivals Lazio for a fee reported to be €35 million. The move came as a surprise to many, given that Inter had already signed several defenders in the summer transfer window.
Bastoni's brief stint with Lazio has been mixed so far, with the defender struggling to make an impact on the pitch. Despite being a young talent with plenty of potential, it remains to be seen whether or not he will ever live up to the hype surrounding him.
